I have a Polaroid #1 Copal shutter. Its the model that comes with two cable release mechanisms, one to open the shutter to focus, the other to trip/fire the shutter.
The shutter in question fails to fire. The lever that the shutter release presses on moves and appears to release the mechanism found on the far end of said lever. But that mechanism seems to catch on something that lightly locks both the lever and the release mechanism.
I can trip the release mechanism (by removing the shutter face and speed dial), but the shutter blades fail to activate. Some sequence of triggering events is failing to be followed correctly.
Does anyone know what's supposed to happen? Any ideas on what I should look at to correct the condition?
Alternatively, any on-line repair documentation for these funky shutters? Or someone who can reliably repair Polaroid shutters?
